Improves gut health

Improves skin health

Promotes anabolism

Has an abundance of different nutrients

#1: Improves Gut Health

The key elements found in bone broth are gelatin and collagen. The only difference being how they’re processed — otherwise they share the same amino acid profile. Gelatin improves the health of the gut immensely by strengthening the lining of the gut and fighting food sensitivities depending on the individual’s ability to process dairy or wheat.

#2: Improves Skin Health

The collagen found in bone broth helps with elasticity in skin which helps improve wrinkles, cellulite, puffiness and overall firmer skin in general.

#3: Promotes Anabolism

Did you know that bone broth is abundant in glutathione? Glutathione has been shown to play a role in gene expression, protein synthesis, cell proliferation and immune responses[*]. Along with glutathione, bone broth is naturally rich in amino acids, the building blocks of protein.

#4: Rich in Different Nutrients

Some key nutrients found in bone broth include glycosaminoglycans, glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate and electrolytes. Electrolytes have a different category of their own, including calcium, magnesium and potassium which are extremely important in optimal training and recovery of an athlete or individuals with active lifestyles.
